BIG MONEY

According to MLB Trade Rumors, the Brewers are one of only three team in the Majors to have never awarded a player a $50 million+ contract.  Washington and Tampa Bay are the other two.  The largest contract ever for the Brewers is Ryan Braun's current $45 million deal.  This ties the Brewers for 28th among the 30 teams in terms of top contracts.

The "talk" number for Prince Fielder is a $200 million deal.  If the Brewers signed him to that, or signed him to anything over $185 million, it would vault them all the way up to 3rd on the list behind the $275 million deal that ARod signed with the Yankees and the $252 million deal that ARod signed with the Rangers.  Yes - the same ARod.
